NAM elects new board, prepares to be powerful voice with new administration
- January 12, 2017

The board of directors of the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM), Washington, D.C., kicked off its new two-year term on Jan. 1. Following an election in which manufacturing issues and manufacturing voters were front and center, the new NAM leaders are poised to be influential voices with the incoming Trump administration, which has already turned to NAM seeking policy advice and counsel.
In the coming months, NAM leaders will focus on defining modern manufacturing and advancing manufacturing priorities in the new Congress and administration.
David Farr, chairman and CEO of Emerson, serves as chair of the NAM board of directors, and David Seaton, chairman and CEO of Fluor Corp., serves as vice chair. Drew Greenblatt, president and owner of Marlin Steel Wire Products LLC, is chair of NAM’s Small and Medium Manufacturers Group, and Chuck Wetherington, president of BTE Technologies Inc., is vice chair.
“This is a critical moment in our history, where U.S. manufacturing, working closely with the incoming administration and a new Congress, can have a powerful role in shaping policy to keep this nation strong and competitive well into the future,” said Farr. The association intends to be manufacturers’ voice for change on issues crucial to the success of manufacturing, including improving infrastructure, reforming the tax system, and addressing the regulatory burden.
